I'd find these shows more believable if they went to locations that offered nothing from time to time yet every where they go they always have to find something which I think is bullshit. Something else that comes to mind too is that ghosts historically don't really like electrical devices. You always hear about lights blown, torches turning off and electrical disturbance. That tells me ghosts aren't fans of electrical frequency etc. in the atmosphere so it makes even less sense that they'd catch ghosts on camera and audio when they drag their entire set of equipment into the haunted houses. Like if I was a ghost I'd just not want to be there with lights, night vision, electrical reading devices, motion detections and all that shit, yeah fuck all that, if I'm a ghost I ain't turning up. So I call bullshit on a lot of it.
Some people are pretty convincing, though.....so who knows. I have seen a couple of ghosts.....but they did not hang around....and neither did I....LOL
Oh I believe in them, we tend to believe in woodland spirits around these parts, but I just don't believe the shows much.
I don't hallucinate and my eyes do not play that good of tricks on me, but I still don't know if I believe in what i saw with my own two eyes...
There is more to life than the theory of relatively. What do we know about the beyond? Do we even know if there's a behind to the beyond? I'm afraid some of us may never know what's even beyond the beyond.
I've thought about getting into ghost hunting in the past. I don't believe in them, and I figured if I could earn good money on it, I could either get paid for playing Scooby Doo, or get my worldview changed and actually see a ghost. But you can't earn money from this. I've looked into it. This tells you right off to bat that there probably aren't ghosts. Or at least very few with the number of claimed ghosts. Think about how many people have died. If there were any more than a couple ghosts, GhostBusting would be a profitable enterprise.
That's what I'm saying though. You try and ghostbust, but you're really scaring them away and you'll never catch them. Ghostbusting scares ghosts.
I honestly can't argue with your logic Irminsul, It backs up your premise, and answers why I've never seeing a ghost. You're good.
I don't know one way or another if they are real....could be....perhaps..... possible...all of those fun words.....
i would assume that if they went somewhere that was a dud, they wouldn't air it. "next week on ghost hunters, nothing happens" would probably not attract huge ratings.
I get that, but I'd actually find it interesting. The history behind some of their locations is what draws me to the shows in the first place, not the bumbling baffoons who stomp around talking with their cameramen.
well they do have those "most haunted places" shows where they just talk about what happened in the place and what ghosts are supposed to be there. i actually like watching those; i've never been able to get into a ghost hunter show.
Yeah, ghost story shows are way cooler than when they "find" ghosts. I always like the insane asylum type stuff. There's an asylum of medical oddities in Austria. It's fucking freaky. XD I also did a ghost tour in olden parts of Prague. That was interesting too, at night.
I think I've seen a few of those shows on youtube (I don't watch TV anymore). They wore inferred cameras around their necks facing back at themselves so you could see how scared they were while they shuffled around in the dark and heard noises, lol. I think that was more entertaining than seeing any ghosts on TV. Actually being in a room with a ghost would count as scary, not watching one on TV.
I agree with the history of some of the supposedly "haunted locations" being very interesting. I don't get any ghost-buster shows on my plain-people tv. (fyi - plain people tv means you get whatever channels come on when you plug it in the wall and turn on the tv ) I absolutely believe in ghosts. I've seen them, felt them, and been in places that literally would make the hair on your arms and neck stand up. However, I can't imagine a scenario where ghost-busters, ghost-lookers or whatever they are supposed to be and their equipment would catch all of that. lol
entertaintment is entertainment. that introduces a partial bullshit factor to begin with. and then when you make it for profit entertainment, there's really no logic in expecting it to be anything less then 99 per cent bull shit. it has nothing to do with whether or not non-physical things of some kind might or might not exist. people making a big scary deal about things they don't know, has nothing to do with what might or might not exist either. just consider how for profit broadcast media works. it depends on selling advertising space. and that depends on how many people can be conned into watching it. and so its any kind of bullshit that will get people's attention. generally the most ignorant. because that pulls in the most suckers. there might be any kind of thing we can imagine, but when you see something like that, you just need to remember to consider the source.
Consider the source of the irritation and know that it is a lack of attention to the whole psychology of man instead of by ersatz degree. the measure we give is the degree we see.
